We Shine Portsmouth 2022

The Scavenger hunt is on! 

Based at 3 locations; Victoria Park, St. Mary's Church and Mountbatten Centre, each part of the hunt features 11 or 12 individually illustrated animals. These COME TO LIFE when you view them using Artivive app, with animations, film and sound.

You can follow a trail with clues to each artwork showing on the digital layer of the one before in the trail. Or you can see the map* for the locations

If you view this image using Artivive it'll reveal the map.

A big thank you to everyone working on this event, and to our artists particularly whose work is featured
